The sprawling pool of colors that is Coachella might seem like the perfect opportunity to test out your new tech, but visitors should make sure they know the rules of using drones on and off festival grounds – or get ready to pay a big fine.

The festivals organizers do not allow drones to be flown on festival grounds, except for law enforcement and commercial drones at the service of festival staff.

As for the rest of crowd: You should know your Federal Aviation Administration rule book. The Indio City Council recently approved a citation schedule – which will be enforced by the Indio Police Department – that includes fines up to $100 for violations of drone safety rules modeled after FAA guidelines.

A resolution tasking Indio Police with enforcing drone regulation was approved by the council on Wednesday, and seeks to "promote the health, safety and general welfare of residents," according to the document.

"Private party and commercial drone usage is a growing trend and we want to stay ahead or any potential impacts it may have in the community," Indio Police Sgt Daniel Marshall explained the department's increased focus on the issue.
